1915 Western Electric Oak Telephone

Here is our newest toy. It is a 1915 Western Electric oak telephone. It has a subset on the inside with a rotary dial so we can use it. It works perfectly!! We felt our kitchen needed a period appropriate telephone, so we sought this one out. Below is an antique telephone operators stool which is barely visible. The stool is the right height if you want to sit and talk on the phone.

About Me

Adam and Jovita are a couple who loves the Craftsman Era of yesteryear. They are restoring a rustic California style bungalow built in 1915. The home has passed through many owners over the years. From 2002-2009 the home was a rental with over 15 tennants. Without much reasearch, it has been told that the first owners did not live in the house for more than ten years. The second owners lived in the home from approximately 1925-1988. Enjoy looking through the blog and feel free to comment.
